Finding Results
You’re looking for long-lasting, meaningful success. And that really matters. Finding ways to make things multidimensional helps enrich the lives around you. Your work teams thrive, your family gets the attention they value, plus you find the energy and stamina to be your best.
But There’s Something in the Way
You want to build this enriched vision for yourself and those you love, but you can’t find the time and the focus to do it all. If you commit to one thing, you miss something else.
There are just too many plates spinning.
Too often important ones fall to the ground. Sound familiar?
Bigger still is the feeling you are somehow maxed out.
Truth is, you aren’t sure you have the capacity to do the bigger things you want to do.
Sure, you’ve had some success, but you know there is more. It feels like bumping your head on the ceiling.
You Need a Coach
A Coach is someone who can come alongside to help you plot a new course
for becoming a much better Leader.
About
Throughout my career, I have been a student of effective and inspiring leadership. Numerous senior leadership roles and many different client opportunities have allowed me to gain valuable experiences which I now share with you. First as Commissioned Army Officer, then as a senior officer of a large and very well-managed regional bank, I gained front line leadership experience.
Later I left for the private sector where I led three different entrepreneurial start-ups grossing in excess of $150 million. Plus I founded a regional faith-based non-profit that has served over 4,500 clients. With this wide range of practical experience, I can help you get clarity with your own ideas to grow businesses and lead people.
My passion is helping clients around the globe identify and embrace opportunities to grow both personally and professionally.
